T. Rex vs Household Feline


Reptile Bite


When our caiman bit me the ER doc said he did not want to stitch the bite because it was a series of puncture wounds.... our iguana gave me a nice bite that really bled lots.....but this guy really got a good slicing bite... iguanas are vegetarians but they have razor sharp teeth...  unlike dog canines that are for puncturing and tearing, the iguana cuts through fruit and leaves.  Human skin is no match.
